Cautious Optimism Gives Way to Muted Pessimism

Thrilling to behold the thug-state Syria slowly unraveled by its people, finally breaking through, climbing over breaking down the barrier of fear which kept them isolated and subjugated for so long.

The world is witnessing how the plight to public suicide of one frustrated fruit vendor has enraged docile populations to overthrow their "elected" leaders.

Yet when Egyptians rumbled under the yoke, yearning for the same freedom from dictatorship masquerading as democracy, the world took more pensive notice, worried as well as welcoming potential positive change. Mubarak, a stalwart ally of the United States and Israel, a leader who protected the Coptic Christian minority from engulfing encroachments, was threatened.

Would his protracted peace disappear with his departure? Would moderate reformers craft a stable government which respects natural rights? Or would a zealous Muslim majority take power and reshape the face of an already troubled Middle East?

It would appear that the latter scenario is developing. The Muslim Brotherhood has already established an operational political party to seize power. Egypt has opened diplomatic channels with Hamas and Iran, both sworn, virulent enemies of Israel and the United States. Anti-Israeli, Anti-Semitic, Anti-Western government is poised to influence politics as usual in the Middle East.

Recently, operators behind the scenes have even insinuated the dubious gossip that Libyan strongman Col. Moammar Gadhafi is actually a Jew! Another article in the LA Times also detailed a make-shift tent of the Libyan rebels, which lampooned Gadhafi as a poodle of the Jewish State, repleted with Stars of David on his military regalia. Future forces in power throughout the Middle East seem to be galvanizing hatred and hostility of the Jewish State.

All of this has been rolling out, with culminating mobs cresting over the borders of Northern Israel from Syria and Palestinians demanding an independent state.

The desire for freedom across these Arab States is transforming into a sinister solidarity which guarantees Sharia law and threatens the one viable Western democracy in the region.
